Oceanography Congress 2017

Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is a true privilege to welcome you all to the 5th International Conference on Oceanography and Marine Biology here in Seoul, the beautiful capital of South Korea. We are gathered here to discuss the science of our oceans, the mother of life on Earth. I am sure we will be listening to numerous exciting talks, maybe even some path-breaking new thoughts and observations. Therefore, I also take the liberty to congratulate you to a very good choice; to come here and present your data. I also regret that I am unable to attend personally.

The oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface. In this environment life started and successively evolved to its present stage of enormous biodiversity and productivity. The ocean geochemistry is both fascination and fundamental for our condition on Planet Earth. The oceans have a very high capacity of storing energy and molecules like CO2. The oceans interact with endogen processes, coastal processes and atmospheric processes. The oceanic circulation system redistributes the water masses and the content of nutrients; seen in coastal upwelling, ENSO events and various multi-decadal oscillations. The level of the sea changes at all time scales. Hurricanes (cyclones) sweep the oceans and hit the coast with vigor. Submarine earthquakes and slides may set up tsunami-waves that often hit the coasts with disastrous effects. The pollution is a terrible problem, however. We try to cope with the coastal sewerage pollution problems; sometimes successfully, sometimes even terribly badly. In recent years, the dumping of plastic material in the oceans has grown to a very severe problem calling for a much stronger attention than we have seen up to now.

My Friends, you – only you – have the keys for a proper understanding and evaluation to all these fascination and fundamental processes. This calls for skill and responsibility. Skill is a tool you continually sharpen in education and by own experience in the field; also by the interaction with your colleagues, like at this meeting. Responsibility you keep in your heart, and it is your own way of expressing your skill. I wish you all a wonderful conference with intellectual inspiration and fun.

On behalf of the entire Organizing Committee I wish you all a very successful and prosperous participation at the 5th International Conference on Oceanography and Marine Biology 2017 here in Seoul.

Oceanology is the branch of Geography that studies the sea. It covers an extensive variety of subjects, including biological system elements; sea streams, waves, and geophysical liquid progression; plate tectonics and the topography of the ocean bottom; and fluxes of different synthetic substances and physical properties inside the sea and over its limits. These assorted subjects mirror different controls that oceanographers mix to further information of the World Sea and comprehension of Procedures inside space science, science, science, climatology, topography, geography, hydrology, meteorology and material science. Paleoceanography concentrates on the historical backdrop of the seas in the geologic past. Branches are of four sort's Biological oceanography, Chemical oceanography, Geological oceanography, Physical oceanography.

Physical oceanography is the study of physical conditions and physical processes within the ocean, especially the motions and physical properties of ocean waters. Physical oceanography focuses on describing and understanding the evolving patterns of ocean circulation and fluid motion, along with the distribution of its properties such as temperature, salinity and the concentration of dissolved chemical elements and gases. The ocean as a dynamic fluid is studied at a wide range of spatial scales, from the centimetre scales relevant to turbulent microstructure through the many thousand kilometre scales of the ocean gyres and global overturning circulation. Approaches include theory, direct observation, and computer simulation. Our research frequently takes place in the context of important multidisciplinary issues including the dynamics and predictability of global climate and the sustainability of human use in coastal and estuarine regions.

Biological oceanography is the study of life in the oceans the distribution, abundance, and production of marine species along with the processes that govern species' spread and development. The goal of biological oceanography is to understand what controls the abundances, kinds, and temporal variation of organisms in the sea. Our research and teaching programs are oriented toward a mechanistic understanding of processes. To this end we employ a variety of approaches including field observations, laboratory experiments and theoretical models. Biological oceanographers and marine biologists approach the study of marine organisms from different perspectives. Biological oceanographers tend to study how organisms both shape and are shaped by the physics, chemistry, and geology of a system while marine biologists tend to study organisms themselves, including their physiology, life history, and distribution patterns. IGPMS has an array of opportunities in both of these related and at times overlapping areas. Current research focuses on a wide diversity of organisms, from bacteria to phytoplankton to marine invertebrates to fish. Opportunities exist to conduct research all over the world, from Polar Regions to tropical seas and from coastal to open ocean ecosystems. Research questions span topics as diverse as ocean acidification, carbon cycling, larval dispersal, organismal development, parasitology, marine toxicology, marine natural products, coral reef ecology, and fisheries management.

Marine Biogeochemistry is devoted to the understanding of biogeochemical processes in marine systems, including the marine boundary layer. It aims to publish innovative insights into all aspects of marine biogeochemistry in both the open ocean and shelf seas. Marine Biogeochemistry focuses on the ocean's role in the biogeochemical cycling of selected elements and the impact of humans on the cycling of these elements. Among the topics covered are the chemical composition of seawater from the perspectives of elemental speciation and the impacts of solutes on water's physical behaviour, biogeochemical phenomena which control accumulation and preservation of marine sediments; marine chemistry of radioactive and stable isotopes; and seawater pollution. The book contains many examples as well as steady-state models to aid readers in understanding this growing and complex science.

Fisheries oceanography is the study of the distribution and abundance of a living marine resource, focusing on how the life cycle of a commercial species is shaped by the physical and biological characteristics of the ocean. Study of oceanic processes affecting the abundance and availability of commercial fishes.

Marine geology or geological oceanography is the study of the history and structure of the ocean floor. It involves geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological investigations of the ocean floor and coastal zone. Marine geology has strong ties to physical oceanography.

Marine geological studies were of extreme importance in providing the critical evidence for sea floor spreading and plate tectonics in the years following World War II. The deep ocean floor is the last essentially unexplored frontier and detailed mapping in support of both military objectives and economic objectives drives the research i.e. in Petroleum Field.

The physical, biological and social resources of our coastal and marine environment threatened by new global warming system have raised many questions. In terrestrial realm GIS has been widely used and applied to assist in precision management of agriculture, forestry, urban planning, business, and national defence. There is now equally strong demand for precision management of coastal and marine resources. The development of protected marine area which requires scientists and managers to asses resources usage having area time approach. So spatial as well as temporal approach needed. It requires having balance between optimum usage of resources and biological conservation . Marine GIS has wide range of applications and can be categorized as coastal, oceanographic, and fisheries. Oceanography describes mapping and measurement of major oceans and fisheries concern with management process of fisheries.

Marine pollution occurs when harmful, or potentially harmful, effects result from the entry into the ocean of chemicals, particles, industrial, agricultural and residential waste, noise, or the spread of invasive organisms. Nutrient pollution, a form of water pollution, refers to contamination by excessive inputs of nutrients. It is a primary cause of eutrophication of surface waters, in which excess nutrients, usually nitrogen or phosphorus, stimulate algae growth. Many potentially toxic chemicals adhere to tiny particles which are then taken up by plankton and benthos animals, most of which are either deposit or filter feeders. In this way, the toxins are concentrated upward within ocean food chains. Many particles combine chemically in a manner highly depletive of oxygen, causing estuaries to become anoxic.

Toxic metals can also be introduced into marine food webs. These can cause a change to tissue matter, biochemistry, behaviour, reproduction, and suppress growth in marine life. Also, many animal feeds have a high fish meal or fish hydrolysate content. In this way, marine toxins can be transferred to land animals, and appear later in meat and dairy products.

Ocean Covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, the world’s oceans have a two-way relationship with weather and climate. The oceans influence the weather on local to global scales, while changes in climate can fundamentally alter many properties of the oceans. This chapter examines how some of these important characteristics of the oceans have changed over time.

As greenhouse gases trap more energy from the sun, the oceans are absorbing more heat, resulting in an increase in sea surface temperatures and rising sea level. Changes in ocean temperatures and currents brought about by climate change will lead to alterations in climate patterns around the world. For example, warmer waters may promote the development of stronger storms in the tropics, which can cause property damage and loss of life. The impacts associated with sea level rise and stronger storms are especially relevant to coastal communities. Changes in ocean systems generally occur over much longer time periods than in the atmosphere where storms can form and dissipate in a single day. Interactions between the oceans and atmosphere occur slowly over many months to years, and so does the movement of water within the oceans, including the mixing of deep and shallow waters.

Coastal oceanography includes both physical and biological aspects. Physical coastal oceanography research at BML focuses on ocean upwelling, land runoff, and the connections between coastal estuaries and the ocean. Coastal at the land-sea interface is a unique niche in oceanography and there is little doubt that the Coastal Oceanography Group (COG), is highly productive at both regional and national/international levels. The COG focuses on regional place-based research along the north coast of California, taking advantage of the unique ocean upwelling zone, as well as in comparable regions globally. With new as well as continued collaborations with biologists and modellers, and with diverse funding for this research, the COG has made a major impact on our understanding of coastal processes at both the basic physical oceanography.

Marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences, and can include mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science, to the development, design, operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and also on-board systems and oceanographic technology, not limited to just power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation and control systems etc. for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships, submarines etc. Marine Science Conferences aims is to aggregate the eminent researchers, academicians and scientists from the field of Marine Oceanography, Marine sciences, Marine biology and specific related areas to create a platform for strong exchange of the recent advancement and technologies towards marine oceanography.

Maritime technology includes safe use, exploitation, protection of, and intervention in, the marine environment. The fields involved in marine technology are the following the naval architecture, marine engineering, ship design, ship building and ship operations; oil and gas exploration, exploitation, and production; hydrodynamics, navigation, sea surface salinity and sub-surface support, underwater technology and engineering; marine resources (including both renewable and non-renewable marine resources). Marine Science Conferences aims is to aggregate the eminent researchers, academicians and scientists from the field of Marine Oceanography, Marine sciences, Marine biology and specific related areas to create a platform for strong exchange of the recent advancement and technologies towards marine oceanography.

Ocean information is important for delivering a range of safety, economic and environmental benefits, underpinning the blue economy and for observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide. The means to collect and use ocean data constitutes a significant business enterprise and one in which the United States is an acknowledged world leader. The objective is to raise visibility and awareness of the sector’s economic importance and to determine the degree of private sector engagement with NOAA and the US IOOS program and provides accurate descriptions of the present state of the oceans, including living resources; continuous forecasts of the future conditions of the sea for as far ahead as possible, and the basis for forecasts of climate change. Marine Science Conferences aims is to aggregate the eminent researchers, academicians and scientists from the field of Marine Oceanography .

The level of global economic activity and the resultant amount of world trade. It is estimated that over 90% of world trade is carried by sea and over the period 1985 to 1999, world seaborne trade increased by 50% to about 5 billion tons with the largest increase coming in crude oil and oil products shipments. During 1990-98 growth averaged 3.2% per annum. It is reported that in 1998 trade experienced its first dip for 15 years, which was due to the S.E. Asian economic problems. However, the decline was generally only within the region. Since then some of the countries concerned have accomplished a turnaround. Global markets consist of three major regions; Europe and North America are similar in size forming 25% and 26% of the market. Asia forms the largest region at an estimated 34%, with much of this shipbuilding and shipping activity centered in S.E. Asia. The Marine Industries growth over next five years could total $51 billion, the largest being in the sectors of marine transportation, Port Industries, Leisure Industries Including Leisure boating and the cruise business, Offshore oil & gas industry. Marine Science Conferences aims is to aggregate the eminent researchers, academicians and scientists from the field of Marine Oceanography, Marine sciences, Marine biology and specific related areas to create a platform for strong exchange of the recent advancement and technologies towards marine oceanography.

Oceanography covers both the deep oceans and the much shallower coastal regions. The breadth of knowledge in oceanography means oceanographers tend to be rather specialized around one specific subject. Many different sorts of tools and instruments are used in oceanography. While ships are certainly a part of this, other methods, such as stationary underwater observatories, are also used to study the ocean. Modern oceanographers also use automated underwater vehicles and sophisticated scanning devices to uncover information more quickly than direct human effort could accomplish.

The Conference will provide an overview on the latest trends and achievements in ocean sciences and technologies applied to oceanography and will explore future needs, developments as well as management and governance. The target audience is intended primarily for oceanographers, researchers, engineers, academics, conservation organizations, industry leaders, policy and decision makers that have coastal and marine related responsibilities.

Why it’s in Seoul, South Korea:
